I don't think much more than about $120,000 with a down payment
The impact on your credit score after buying a house can vary, but it's common for it to drop by around 5-10 points. This is due to factors like taking on a new loan and increased credit inquiries during the mortgage application process.
I know it sounds a little goofy but, your credit score is based on your credit history. Once you pay something off your credit history is completed for that particular account so your score drops a little. Having said that, I certainly don't recommend that you keep a lot of bills open just to keep your credit score high. A credit card where you maintain a small balance with most of the credit line available and paying your utilility, phone and rent or house payment on time or a little early will keep your credit score pretty healthy.
you must restore your credit.
To establish credit for buying a house, you can start by applying for a credit card or a small loan, making timely payments, keeping your credit utilization low, and monitoring your credit report regularly. This will help you build a positive credit history, which is important when applying for a mortgage to buy a house.
Only if the credit card an "equity line of credit" which is secured by a second mortgage on the property. But then, if her name is not on the house, she couldn't have used it for security on the credit card, so NO.

A rule of thumb I have heard is this - don't buy a house more than 2.5X your income. So, for you that's a max of $135,000 for a home.
yes it costs about 45000 about as much as a small house in the ghetto. You cannot afford it so you might as well not try.
Yes, in-house financing can impact your credit score. When you use in-house financing to make a purchase, the lender may report your payment history to the credit bureaus, which can affect your credit score positively or negatively depending on how you manage the payments.
